The second Dallas nurse to be infected with Ebola is now free of
the virus, and will be released from the hospital today (Oct.
28).

The nurse, Amber Vinson, has recovered and will be discharged
from Emory University Hospital in Atlanta,
the hospital said.

Vinson is the fourth patient with Ebola to be treated at Emory
University. She will make a statement at 1:00 p.m. ET today,
according to Emory.

Vinson became infected with Ebola when she cared for Thomas Eric
Duncan, the first person to be diagnosed with Ebola in the United
States. The day before she developed symptoms of the virus, she
flew
by plane from Cleveland to Dallas, leading the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention to notify all people onboard her
flights. The CDC later said that Vinson had been in contact with
the agency the day of her flight, and was cleared to fly. (People
with Ebola are contagious only after they start showing
symptoms.)

Another nurse, Nina Pham, also contracted Ebola when caring for
Duncan at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital. She was treated at
the National Institutes of Health Clinical Center in Bethesda,
Maryland. On Friday (Oct. 24),
Pham was declared virus-free, and released from the hospital.
